What is the best way to transfer proceeds between offshore sportsbooks without having the check sent to the US, and without the sportsbook knowing that you are taking money out of your account and sending it to another sportsbook? Is there a way to do this conveniently without putting the money in an offshore bank account first? Any advice appreciated.

Sonny,
Can you clarify about Pinnacle. Not all sportsbooks do interbook transfers for free; only those that have good relationships with other books. For example, I have been charged the bank wire fees by many sportsbooks to send money to other sportsbooks (between 30 and 60 dollars)and still find this the best way to transfer large amounts of money offshore between my different outs.

Sure - to clarify;
I had about a dime in Pinnacle and wanted to move $300 to Olympic. I thought all the books traded favors because this week it may be you and next week it could be them transferring.
In any case, Pinnacle told me it would cost me $50 to transfer the $300 to Olympic, which may or not be the going rate.
I have some issues with Pinnacle - their bet types (and the ones they don't offer), their service (I e-mailed Ali Hamilton more than a month ago - he never responded).
I have asked them to e-mail me the NHL lines more than 15 times. They put me on the list and what do you know - I fall off for some reason or another.
The real thing that gets me about Pinnacle is that all their advertisement says "We take any bet - any size".
They go on to say (on their site and advertisements) that Big-Nosed Bill is their role model for the operation. Bill, a street bookie, is quoted as saying "I am here to write and I have a pencil in my hand.
Well Bill must have dropped his pencil when he heard "NCAA Halftimes". When he reached down to get it he must have banged his head on the table and forgot how to write some other types - money lines and what have you.
If you wanna talk the talk - ya gotta walk the walk. In my opinion - they just don't live up to the talk they generate.
On a more positive note - I am sure they are solid, have fair lines and are a contest sponsor here at BW.
If they didn't make the claims they do, I really would only have the complaint about not being able to get the lines daily. Pretty insignificant overall.
As always - Good Luck,
Sonny
